39 Things I’m not Doing Before 40

January 14, 2020 By Caroline Peterson 2 Comments

It’s my birthday this week and I’m celebrating in style–in Hawaii. Imagine me, a mai tai and terrible hula skills. You’re welcome for that image. Turning 39 has me reflecting on things, especially how I was feeling 10 years ago when I turned 29. I anxiously awaited 30. I was super pumped to turn 30. […]

December 29, 2019 By Caroline Peterson 2 Comments

Have you seen it? The abundance of posts chanting: O-M-G It’s the Last Days of the Decade. The ones that humblebrag neatly discuss the intricacies of achievements over the course of the last decade.

September 17, 2017 By Caroline Peterson 4 Comments

1. Adrenaline is no f*cking joke. In the 3ish hours I had to pack up what I could into 2 pieces of luggage, storm prep my place and decide which things needed saving by throwing them in my insulated bathroom – I made decisions like a champ. There wasn’t any second guessing; there wasn’t time […]

I Won’t Be Silent. How About You?

August 13, 2017 By Caroline Peterson Leave a Comment

Today, I was going to share the details about a wonderful weekend away that the hubster and I took in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. Seems a bit untimely now considering everything that has happened in Charlottesville, Virginia. In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. – Martin Luther King, Jr. It’s […]
